1. If cable tv providers can get away with disintermediating TV viewers from TV stations I don’t see how Apple is any worse, especially since I can still buy third party apps, but I can’t either set up or tune into an indie TV station. Amazon is a far worse problem with respect to books (and without any demonstrable user benefit) so good luck waiting for regulation here. 2. Again, you can use Chrome on a Mac. The App Store is not stopping anyone from using anything, it’s just facilitating certain cases. Microsoft installs its apps on your machine without asking you (and has an App Store). Don’t even get me started on Nintendo. Seriously, you’re complaining about the least worst (commercial) player in this space. 3. Clutching at straws here. No one cares. 4. You mean like OpenGL, and two other OpenGL things. Again, Microsoft DirectX is what? 5. Apple intentionally slows devices down to prevent random shutdowns from peak power draw when the battery has aged. This is a good thing, well implemented, but poorly explained. Apple has paid a PR penalty for its lack of transparency, and having them suffer regulatory punishment for this seems harsh. Ok, I get it, you hate Apple. But unless you avoid all commercial vendors I don’t think you’re going to find someone that satisfies your peculiarly quixotic requirements.
